I have a small network that has a Winn2k (SP 4) VPN server and has
RRAS setup to receive VPN clients. The server has only one NIC and
this is connected to an Actiontec DSL gateway that acts as an
all-in-one firewall, DHCP ADSL router (actiontec 1520). The server is
assigned a static address from the Actiontec DHCP pool and also acts
as a file server. The server is only used as a workgroup server so
Active Directory is not involved. The server also has Terminal
Services installed in application mode.
The router is configured to pass ports TCP port 1723 and GRE protocol
port 47. I have also passed port 3389 for RDP.
Before I setup VPN, I could connect using RDP directly over the
internet to the Terminal Server (using the public address of the
gateway) but wanted to use VPN for better security.
I have a Win XP client that uses the built in VPN client to
successfully connect and authenticate. It gets the IP address from the
actiontec dhcp pool (192.168.0.x)
However , the only way I can connect using RDP to the terminal server
is by using the (public) IP address of the gateway, not the private
address of the server . Is this in effect NOT using the VPN
connection?
Should I remove the port forwarding (3389) actiontec? I can't ping the
server from home using the servers assigned 192.168.0.7
I would have thought that once a VPN session is established, you would
then use various services using the *internal, private* IP addressing
of the destination network server.
What do I need to do to ensure I'm using RDP over VPN?
thanks
